Redeemed

Over the past 29 years of my life I have been an aggressive, creative and strategic supporter of gay and lesbian issues.

As the publisher of a 13-year-old periodical which targets black gays and lesbians, I have had the opportunity to publicly address thousands, influencing closeted people to ‘come out’ and stand up for themselves, which is particularly difficult in the African-American community.

But now, I must come out of the closet again. I have recently experienced the power of change that came over me once I completely surrendered to the teachings of Jesus Christ. As a believer of the word of God, I fully accept and have always known that same-sex relationships are not what God intended for us.
